One of those scenes of bloodshed which have their orightin the syStein of illicit distillation, took place on Saturday h e s in the county of Waterford. On Friday evening last, Robt. Townahend, Esq. Supervisor of Excise, who had only returned to Fermoy, after a tour of forty miles in hi* district, received in formation of a private distillery at full work. Being fatigued, he iminediately sent fur Air. William Fitanzaurice Officer of Excise, who is in charge of Fertzmy division, and delegated his writ of ,s„iognee to him to undertake the duty. Accordingly, he pro ceeded from that town, accompanied by Lieut. 13aile, tw e l ve m elt of the 12th Regiment, and a constable, and having arrived at the place; about three o'clock in the morning, they seized the still, he and worm, at work, 4 4 )0 gallons of pot .ale, and a number' headcasks ; w h e n passing through the village of Ilaluff they w ere a tt a cked by a mob of men and wom lyd en, con , 'listing of several hundred,, who succeeded in rescuing the seizure, after wounding s everal of th e party w i t h stones. During thi s attack, Mr. Fitzmattrice and Lieut. Bailey evinced the greatest coolness, and the men the utmost steadiness, until they saw their officer repeatedly knocked down, when at last, in defence of their lives, they were obliged to fire on the mob.'

Y"Ksnin . 1 —The appr e h ens i ons which prevail in Lou - don, relative to all the man u f actur i ng districts, have in duced us to inquire, rather minutely , into th e rea l state o f trade in the We s t Riding. There is, at this moment, we understand from good authority, a b r i s k sale for wool len cloths, particular ly g . . for the coars er d escr i ptions of coat ings. But the best feature in this speci es o f trade is, that all the transactions are of a bona fide character —the re sult of orders arisin from absolute demand.

THE HARVEST. (From the Scott/rum) On the 14th inst. Mr. Robert Robb, of Meadowfield, near Duddingston, commenced his barley harvest; and we understand, notwith stan di ng the gre at drought, reaped a very fair crop. He began to cut wheat on the 20th, and intends continuing till all is cut down; the crop is most excellent, and we should think could not possibly have been better, even in the most favourable•season. On Monday morning, at an ear l y h our , there was a nu merous assemblage o f h arvest labourers at t h e W estport, the great proportion of whom were Irishmen, the early harvest—we may al most say sudden harvest —h av i ng g i ven them the start of the Highlanders. Reaping will be quite general in the Lothians this week, which is unprecedented in the memory of man. The wages were one shilling with victuals; and Is. 6d. without. However surprising it may appear, in these time* of extreme distress, shearers were so scarce at . Linton, * tast Lothian,. on Monday, that there was not one at the mar ket for ten who would have been required. Although offered 2s. per day, those who presented themselves de clined at mid-day engaging at, that rate. The crop is ready for the sickle, and hands cannot be got for cutting it down. A number of shearers, chiefly from the north country, passed through Edinburgh on Sunday on their way to East Lothian and Berwickshire. Catterpillars of monstrous size have been found in many places in Ayrshire. One was found which measured five inches long and one inch and a quarter in circumference, of a beautiful sea green. UNEMPLOYED WEAVERS.—The labours of the harvest have . now begun, and will afford employment to a number uf the men who are subsisting on the charitable fund. The committee who administer this fund accordingly issued a notice on Monday, in which they state, that " having heard, from undoubted authority, that the whole grain in East Lothian is ready for cutting, but that there is a great want of reapers, who are offered high wages—they now give notice to all under their employment, that it is expected they will immediately take advantage of the demand for reapers, and proceed to East Lothian; certifying, that such as fail to do so, without sufficient cause, cannot be retained in their employment." The committee, we pre sume, will make allowance for the ease of weakly or aged individuals, who may be unable for harvest-work ; but they have a right to expect that all who are not of this descrip tion will avail themselves of the present opportunity of finding employment at good wages. By the reports in the papers and letters from almost parts of the country, we may now anticipate, should Pro vidence continue to us the present favourable weather, the result of the harvest, which is now almost universally com mewed. The wheats are, in all quarters, stated to be of the best quality, and abundant. Barley and Oats, in most places, will be light. In some districts they have nearly perished from the drought; but in many parts of the West of England they are reported as abundant. This has arisen from the partiality of the rains which fell at the time when only they could benefit the spring crops. This descripti on of grain will, h owever , b e considerably below an average crop. We swe happy to find, from the Dublin Morning Port, that all 'apprehensions for the safety of the potato crops have vanished in that country. The price of hay in the south has naturally advaneed.—:-Liverpool Courier. Nsw PORT, ISL IC OF WI Hr, J nr.v 27.--Harvest has corn meneed throughout the Island. 'Wheat never was known sogood; Barley and Oats, a fair average crop ; Beane and p eas h ave near l y failed; several acres have been cut for fodder; Hay rather more than half a crop, but safed in excellent order; a great quantity of old Hay remains unsold; late sown Turnips appear to be doing well. This beautiful little island was never _known to be so full as at present; in all Ryde and Cowes, not a lodging is to he had, and every part of the island where a cottage was to be had is now let. YORK. JOHN ANGELL, ESQ., • The interest excited by the late proceedings by Writ of Right, in the cause, of. Angell e. Angell, induces us to suppose that the following particulars relative to John An gell, Esq. whose eccentricities and aversion to lawyers have given rise to the long-continued litigations which were terminated hut week, at our Assize's, will be accept able to the generality of our readers. Mr. Atigell was educated at the University of Oxford, and was designed for Holy Orders; but; on the death of his elder brother, becoming heir apparent to considerable estates in the counties of surrey, Sussex, Kent, and Berk shire, hi had no occasion to seek the emoluments of a profession. On succeeding to the paternal property, he resided at Binfield, in Berkshire. . Suspecting, by Mistake a boy in his neighbourhood of having stolen one of his dogs, he char g ed "him with the theft, but the boy denied it, saucily affirming that the eni mal was his own. Angry words followed, and Mr. Angell was at length irritated to such a degree, as to strike seve ral blows, but not so violent as t o en danger the boy's lif e . He was, however in a few weeks seized with a fev er , which proved fatal; and after the funeral, a report pre vailing that his death was occasioned by the chnstisement he had received from Mr. A nge ll, a n inquest w a s held by the Coroner, and a verdict extremely unfavourable to Mr. Angell; returned. To avoid a long confinement he retired into Wales, but surrendered himself at Reading on the first day of the ensuing Assizes.. The trial lasted S hours,and a ver diet of guilty was returned by the Jury, contrary to the opinion of the Judge, who declared himself satisfied that the deceased died a natural death. He, of course, directed the Jury to reconsider their verdict, and the prisoner was acquitted. During this alarming state of suspense, Mr. Angell was observed to be much agitated, and a variety of circumstances proved that the incident made a lasting impression on his mind. Tw o ser vants who lived with him many years never remem bered his having mentioned either Binfield or Berkshire, and as often'as his estates there obliged him to visit that county, they could always perceive him to be snore ill tempered than when he was at Stockwell or Temple Ewell. In his will he appears to have purposely avoided mentioning his estate at Binfield, audit is observable, that Berkshire is not specified among the counties from which the fellows of his intended College might be chosen. Mr. Angell married , the eldest daughter of Sir John thininijo,nanwidthwahomseao ofda Gresham, B art . o f Ti tsey , w h o di e d some years before ytsomwperere.soP perverse, an d morose.robahly sho r t ene d b y h er Among his man y unacc ountable w hi ms the following are Particularis e d. F or years he was n ot k nown to open a letter him se lf. As lonias,Mrs. Angell lived, all his let ters were carried to her, and when she h a d read them, she laid.thern upon the floor of. the room where her husband usually sat. After her decease, a female. servant ryas em ployed to open them, and to piece them on the floor; and be constantly read them on his knees, without taking them' into his hand. The solicitor who tr ansacted - business for him was not all Owed to enter his apartment, but received instructions at the door, without seeing his principal. He was very abstemious in his diet, never drinking more than three glasses of wi ne , an d on some d ays not any. To stronger liquors, he probably had an aversion, but on one d a y; and only one in the year, he would have a small glass of spirits. He never associated with Any of the neigh. bowing gentlemen, and it was not often that Mrs. Angell was permitted to receive visiters. Possibly she might not wish this indulgence, because as the parlours were at a small distance, it rarely happened that it was not followed by a rebuke. The complaint was, that his bead was dis turbed by the ladies talking over their tea. Nevertheless, no sooner was Mrs. Angell removed from him by death, than he became sensible of the irreparable loss he lad sustained. After an interval of three years ' he was o ft en known, with tears i n hi s eyes , to bewail his being de prived of her. Mr. Angell is reported to have employed much of his time in reading law and controversial divinity. He con tinued through life a member of the Church of Englarid. His dress and equipage were not among the least striking of his singularities. In giving directions for the dress of the fellows of his intended College, he seems to have had his, own apparel in his thoughts, doubt less conceiving it to be very becoming and genteel. His coat, in the cut of which he never conformed to any fashion, was cloth of the highest colour, arid there was an edging of gold lace to his hat. His wig was made of hair of a flaxen hue, and thick set with small curls in every part except the crown. His coach, a curious relic, was surmised, E tradition, to have been built when Mr. Angell's father was High-Sheriff of Berkshire; but, the materials were so substantially framed, that the son every summer travelled in it to and from Temple Ewell, near Dever. Its antique figure was very remarkable, and on the Kentish road it acquired the appellation of An gell's Ark. Mr. Angell died in 1784. His will was made ten years before, being dated September 21st, 1774. It contains many curious clauses. In that which relates to hia funeral is a ridiculous minuteness of direction, which affords a re markable instance of human weakness and vanity extending beyond the rave..g It is as follows : " Imprimis, I resign myself wholly to God Almighty. — Item, I would be interred in the manner following :—I would be wrapped in a woollen sheet without a :shroud, be, put into a leaden coffin, which shall not be soldered down, but only screwed. On this coffin shall be , a large plain inscription on lead, expressing who I am ; &c.— Then to be put into a black cloth coffin, with usual orna merits; only I would have a plate of copper or brass, in stead of such as is usually put. .Then shall be well en graved the family cost of arms, properly blazOned as I now bear, with a full inscription in Latin, as this John, the son of John and Caroline, qui cossorte.s; habuii cariesimain, &C. I desire to lie open in my chamber so long as I decently may; afterward, in about a fortnight, or. rather above, would be carried to Crowhurst (a village near Bette', in Sussex) in a hearse with six horses, dressed pro perly with shields and escutcheons, ,but no other trilling ornaments. My own coach shall follow, with one foot man behind it, and one riding before ; and besides, two mourning coaches only, with six horses, in one of which I would have my executors or . near friends, in the other my maid servants. I would desire the tenants and neighbours of Crowhurst, and in that neighbourhood, would meet me at the bottom of . Riddlestlowne, as usual heretofore ; and they are to beim their gloves andhat-bands., And I would desire such of the ne)ghbours in and a b ou t St oc k we ll, as would shew me that regard, to ride two by two before me as far as the farther end of Croydon, accordingly to have gloves and hat-bands. And it is my will and desire that if the College and Chapel Which I intend to erect, be finished and settled, the ,gentlemen and the chaplain, and minister, and the whole choir, afterwards the servants of the College, attend on foot to the top of Brixton-cause way, singing as they proceed some proper hymn or anth em as shall be appoi n t e d on t h e occas i on. ' The clause by which he bequeaths his estates, and which' has afforded an endless source of litigation, and has perpetuated the name of Angell in Westminster Hall, and in the records of assize in the counties in which he.pos , messed estates, begins thus :—" I give to the male heirs-- if any such there be—of William Angell, tbe first pur chaser of Crowhurst, and father of my , great grandfather, John Angell, and their heirs male for ever, all my lands and estates, &C." He then m a k es a var i ety f prolix pro visions in favour of the heirs male (if any) of other remote branches of the faurdly, in case no heir he found to the said William Angell. The concluding provisions of this clause. is particularly worthy of observation :—" One chief condi tion, . besides whit ~I have mentioned, is, I Would have Stockwell of Crowhurst made the chief residence of the family. And particularly my will is, that all things at Stockwell, where I chiefly now inhabit, be kept at least for one season as they are, and no alteration made in' the house-keeping or expences thereof, nor ever after any ser vant put away without good reason, or any tenant or agent removed, or put out of their bargains without due consideration and special reasons. And it is my desire, will, and order, that no oak, elm, or ash, or any timber tree on any of the estates, be lopped or cut down till it be of full growth of-four load of timber round Measure, "micas a fourth part of its boughs shall be manifestly decayed and rotten; and it is my desire that no fir-tree whatsoever, that is timber or near it, without a particular reason for it, shall be cut down or destroyed so long as it will stand; nevertheless any timber, except fir, wider forty feet in' measure, may be felled and taken fOr repairs and buildings on the estate on which it grows." It has been observed that in 17118, there were standing at the bottom of the garden, then belonging to Mr. Angell, in the Wnshway, near Stockwell-lane, by Brixton Cause way, some willow trees, perfectly straight, several yards taller, and their circumference much larger, than that of any mast. Besides some trifling legacies to the poor of Stockwell, he makes provision for the building and endowment of a College at that place. He gives to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, and the Archbishop of York, for the time being, 100/. per annum, out of his es tate at Ewell; 100/. per annum out of his estate at Lam beth ; 350/. per annum out of the collections of the Spurn Lights, at Neweastle ; mid 254 out of the light-houses at Sunderland, in trust, to be paid half-yearly without any de duction, for the maintaining a College or Society of seven decayed or unprovided-for gentlemen, that shall be such by three descents; and two clergymen, an organist, six singing men, and twelve choristers, and a verger or chapel clerk ; also three domestic servants, viz, a butler, baker, arid groom. One of the gentlemen may have been a mer chant, They shall be called the gentlemen of St. John's College, near Stockwell. One of the seven gentlemen their clothin g, Which shall be of and each for a c° hat in e shall be styled President, and shall he superior to the rest; shall This, it should be t , h ; s e h i f r oaru bo b ar e d ye ar ly li a u jo o w rs e the Gentlemen and the two Clergymen shall eat together, and the charges of t w ih t ltb°fteu°l: 2 7: 3 o el * w d Ye g elltr o ° l til d lace, about td. ob served, was the dress Mr. Angell himself usually wore. The propensity of Mr. Angell to perpetuate suits at law after his decease, appear from the clauses of hiB will that enjoin large sums of money to be reserved out of his es tates, and appropriated to that use. lie directed that 1001 „ vat should be applied , to regain the estate at Crowhurst , withheld from him by mortgage, contrary to all equity, and 100/. a-year to cancel the demand upon the Spurn Light; an d ius successors were never to desist from their attempts to accomplish both these points. He likewise took the most effectual means to entail law suits upon them by his random devise of his estates to the heirs male (if any) of his remote ancestors. THE ARMY.

OXFORD, JULY 29. The Mayor and Magistrates of this City entertained the Lord Mayor, several of the Aldermen, the Chamberlain, Town Clerk, Solicitor, Chaplain, and other Officers of the City of London, in his Lordship's suite, in our Council Chamber on Tuesday last. It is usual for the Lord Mayor once in fourteen years to hold Courts on the river Thames, according to ancient custom, and upon this occasion the visit was paid to Oxford. The state barge brought several of the party from London to the River Isis, as far as Folly Bridge, but the Lord Mayor having passed along the Thames- a considerable distance, returned to town, and came direct from thence to Oxford in his carriage. The dinner at the Council Chamber was unusually grand and costly ; indeed, nothing of the kind can bear a comparison with it, unless it was that which was given to the Prince Regent and the Foreign Princes, who visited Oxford in the year 1814. It reflects, the greatest credit on the pro jectors of the invitation, and they are entitled to the highest praise for the spirit, taste, and. hospitality thus shown to the Lord Mayor and Magistracy - of the City of London. The Members for the City, with the Lord Mayor's brother, C. Venables, Esq. were the only stran gers present. 1 1 On the' following day the Mayor, 'Magistrates, City Members, Bailiffs, Town Clerk, and City Solicitor, by invitation, dined with the Lord Mayor at the Star Inn, where an entertainment was given, which seemed to vie for richness and splendour the one given i n th e C ounc il Clamber. The Lady Mayoress, the Ladies of Aldermen Atkins, Heygate, Lueas, and Magnay, with their daugh ters, graced the table with their presence. The Vtee4 Chancellor, President of C. C. C. Master of Pembroke call—Warden of New coll. Principals of Magdalen and St. Mary halls, the two Proctors, and s evera l ot h er M em b ers of the U niversity, honoured the' Lord Mayor with their . company. The Lord Mayor, Lady Mayoress, and party, left Oxford on Thursday morning in the State Barge for London, highly, pleased with their visit. Wednesday last the Rev. John Alington, M.A. and the Rev. .1. Linton, M.A. were admitted Actual Fellows of Magdalen college; and at the same time James R. Pears, B.A. Demy of Magdalen; and 'John Gervas Hutchinson Bourne, B.A. of Pembroke College, (and of the county of Nottingham) were elected Probationary Fellows ; and William Palmer, of the county of Oxford, a Demy of the same Society. The Rev. Michael Marlow, D.A. President of St. John's college, and Rector of flandborough, and the Rev. James Ingram, D.D. President of Trinity college, and Rector of Garaington, have been elected Proctors to attend the Con vocation in Parliament for the diocese of Oxford. The Rev. Whittington Landon, D.D. Provost of Wor cester College, in this University, and Dean of Exeter, has been presented to the Vicarage of Bishop's Tawton, Devon. The Rev. Walter Levett, M.A. late Student of Christ Church, has been presented to the Vicarage of 'Brays, Berke, by the He n . an d Ri g h t R ev. the Lora Bishop of Oxford, parron thereof in right of his Bishopric*. . Yesterday James Houghton Langston, Esq. one of the Representatives of this City in Parliament, was unani mously elected to a Bailiff's seat in the Council Chamber. Same day Mr. George Cecil was elected Coroner for this City, in the room of Mr. Prince Tubb, who had re signed. THE LATE ELOPEMENT. The beau monde in the West of the Town bas lately been converted into a " School for Scandal," in descanting upon the misfortunes of an Honourable Baronet, deprived of his accomplished Lady. One does not like to disclose all that one knows about an affair so seriously unpleasant. Suffice it to say for the present that the wife of a Baronet, the owner of a fortune of 25,000/. a-year, a Member of Parliament for a County, and the proprietor of a splendid town and country establishment, has eloped from a home which, all .the world presumed to be a happy one, and which the fashionable part of it have long known to be the gayest and most favourite resort of the glittering cir cles of society. Th ese a d vantages , w i t h a ll the " pride, pomp, and circumstance," that appertain to them, this lady has sacrificed for ever, by absconding with a young military gentleman, claiming, it is said, veryligh alliance s , but claiming them in a particular w a y. With scarcely means to support himself in the class of society, in which he has hitherto moved, the Lady ---- will find her fu ture situation in life a very different one indeed, and a very sad chadt from that which she h as a b an d one d . She is young an armful. A very clever well -executed par trait of her and her husband were in the late exhibition at Somerset House. We can scarcely term this elopement a flight, as we have pretty good reason to know that the guilty parties are at this moment in one part of the town, whilst the injured husband is residing at another. Inqui ries have been made at Steven's, Long's, Limner's, and other fashionable hotels at the West End of the Town re sorted to by the gallant Lothario, but as yet he has escaped detection.--11forning Chronicle.
